Jarltech Supplier Connector

The merchantCENTRAL Supplier Jarltech fully integrates the IT hardware distributor Jarltech Europe GmbH into your merchantCENTRAL platform. The connector connects Business Central to Jarltech via two channels:

  • Jarltech REST API (OAuth2) for orders, invoices, shipments/tracking, and multilingual item data.
  • File import (price list & stock) via the central merchantCENTRAL import pipeline.

The connector is an add-on to the merchantCENTRAL Hub. Imported master data flows into the central table ALN MC Supplier Data and is made available there to the price engine, stock calculation, and marketplace listings. Shipment tracking is reported back to the original sales orders via the Hub (drop shipment bridge).
